There are two ways to organize a comparison/contrast essay:
A) Block Approach. This organizational pattern is most effective when used on short essays,
such as in-class essays. The body of such an essay is organized by discussing one subject, point
by point, in complete detail before moving on to the next subject. The writer should select points
by which both subjects can be examined. The number of body paragraphs will be determined by
the number of points discussed in the essay.
B) Point-by-Point Approach. This organizational pattern is most effective when used on longer
essays, such as a comparison of two articles, short stories, or novels. The body of such an essay
is organized by discussing one point at a time and how it applies to each subject before moving
on to the next point. For long works, at least three points should be examined if not more.
